Dear Alex,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks for taking over my responsibilities during my recent sick leave.

I was absent due to a severe case of the flu, which required me to rest and recover for a few

weeks weeks

. I do apologize for any inconvenience my absence may have caused.

During my leave, you managed several critical tasks, including overseeing the quarterly sales report, coordinating the team meetings, and handling client communications. Your diligent work ensured that everything ran smoothly and deadlines were met without any issues.

I truly appreciate your willingness to step in and handle these responsibilities. Your support

not only helped me recover without added stress but also ensured

that our team's progress was uninterrupted. I am deeply grateful for your assistance and understanding.

Thank you once again for your exceptional help.

Best regards,

John Smith
